Thefiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very stoat amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

Do not operate the oven while empty to
avoid damage to the oven and lhe danger of fire. If by acddent the oven should mn
empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, Uy m avoid operating the oven
empty at any time-it saves energy and prolongs tile lit;e of tile oven.
Do not use the oven for storage proposes. Do not leave paper products, cooMng

MICROWAVE-SAFECOOKWARE
Make sure all cookware used inyour microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does
not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled
"suitable for microwaving. "
Ifyou are not sure ifa dish is microwave- safe, use this test: Place in the oven both
the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Mioowave 1nfinute at high.
If the dish heats, it should not be used fbr microwaving.
If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish ismicrowave-
safe.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, inake sure it is safe for use in
microwave ovens.
Do not use recycled paper producls. Re(%:led paper towels, napMns and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or i_fim. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filamenLs should be avoided, as they may also ignite.
Some st}_ofbam trays (like fl_ose that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. "_qmn nficrowaved, the metal can bum the floor of the oven or i_im a paper rowel.
Not all plastic _ap issuitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use. Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic
_Tap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic _Tap so steam can escape.
Oversized fi.)od or oversized metal cookware should not be used in a nficroxx_tveoven. Elecuk:al shock or fire could occur.
_qfile paper plates may be used for timed cooling and defiosting, do not use them with Auto Sensor cooking. Use microwave- safe plates or bowls for reheating. Cover with plastic x.nap.
Cookware may become hot because of heat uanstened flom the heated
food. Pot holders m Wbe needed to handle the cookware.
"Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooling, possibly resulting in inju U. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncove,ed because they fbnn a tight seal.
_qmn cooking with containers tightly
covered with plastic x.nap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away fiom hm_ds and face.
Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners may be microwaved in fifil uays less than 3/4" high; remove the top foil cover
and _eturn the uay to the box. _'_q_enusing
fbil in tim nficrowave oven, keep the fitil at least 1 inch away flonl the sides of the oven.
Plastic cookware-Plastic cookware desi_ed fbr nficrowave cooking isveU
nseful, but should he used careflflly. Even microx._vwe-sateplastic m W not be as tolerant of over-cooking conditions as me glass or ceramic materials m_d mW soften or char if suhjected to short periods of over-cooking. In longer exposures to over-cooking, the food and cookwme could ignite.
Follow these guidelines:
1LJse microwave-safe plastics only and
[]
use them in strict compliance with the cookware Inanufact/lrer's
recommendations.
] Do not microwave empty containers. [] Do not pernfit chiMren to use
plastic cookware without complete supe_s_ision.

ARCING
Ifyou see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFFpad and correct the problem,
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by."
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. Foil not molded to tbod (upulmed edges
act like antennas).
Metal, such as lwist-ties, poulu 7 pins, or gold-_immed dishes, in the microwave.
Recycled paper rowels containing small metal pieces being used in/he microwave.
SUPERHEATEDWATER
Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point.
They can actually get super heated and not bubble at all.
Super heated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this flom happening and causing iI_juU, do not heat any liquid tot inore than 2 minutes per olp.
After heating, let the cup stand in the
inicrowave R_r30seconds before moving it or putting anylhing into it.
Spontaneous boiling
Under certain special circumstances, liquids
may start to bo# during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven.
To prevent bums floin splashing liquid, we recommend the %llowing be%re removing
the container flom the oven: :Allow the container to stand in the oven f()i
,%0to 40 seconds after dm oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in nature--necked
containers such as soft drink botdes, wine flasks and especially narro_._mecked coffee
cups. Even it the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it
toburst or oveTIlow.

[] Selectdesired power level 1-10.
[] Press the STARTpad.
Variablepower levels add flexibility to microwave cooking,Thepower levels on the microwave oven canbe comparedto the surface unitson a range. Eachpower level givesyou microwave energya certainpercent of the time.
Power level 7 is micrt )waxe energy 70 %
of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time.
:_Most cooldng will be done on High
(powerlevel 10)which givesyou 100%
power. Power level 10 xdll cook thster but food may need more flequent
stining, rotating or turning over.
A lower setting will cook more evenly and
need less stining or rotating of the tbod. Someibods may have better flavor,
texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a h)wer power level
when cooking ti)ods that have a tendenQ,
to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.
Here are some examples of uses for
various power levels:
High l& Fish, bacon, vegetables,
boiling liquids,
Meal-High 7: Gentle cooldng of meat and pollhlz' ba_ng casseroles and

Adjustthe lower oven thermostat--Do ityourse/f!
Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.
NOTE" Thisadjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. Theadjustment will be retained in memory after apower failure.

Thetype of margarine will affect bakingperformance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). Ifyou decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. Thelower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require pro&lcts labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight. I_owiilt spreads, on tile other hand, contain less tilt and m_re water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of
baked goods. For best resuhs _dth your old iilvorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads ( ontaining at least 70% vegetable oil.
